I saw this tag on Youtube and thought it would be fun to do this. Many of the items I mention are my "holy grail" items that I purchase time and time again. You've probably seen these items time and time again on my blog but that just means I really like them. Anyway, on to my fab 5!

Lancome Dual Finish Foundation Powder- I've been using this powder for years. I love that I can slap it on in the dark and it looks decent. Before giving birth last year, I definitely had this stuff on my face.

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat- I wear this in "2" which is the yellow color. I love how it conceals and brightens my dark circles and shadows on my face. I hear it doesn't work on everyone but I'm in love with what it does for me.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser- I was first introduced to this by my bestie back in 2005. Ever since, it's always been in my arsenal. Sure, I stray time to time I always come back. I love how it cleans everything, including mascara, from my face. It can feel a little drying if there's any residue so make sure to rinse well. In a pinch I even use it as a makeup brush cleaner.

Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki- I won this brush in a contest Productrater put on last year. It makes foundation application easy and flawless. The brush has the right density as to not soak up too much product. It was love at first use with this one.

Aveda Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener- You'd never know that I have naturally really wavy hair. This product keeps the frizzies out, protects my hair from heat damage, and keeps the straightness for days.

Now I tag all of you! What are your must have products? Let me know in the comments!

Hi everyone! I hope everyone had a great Halloween! We didn't do too much for it since my hubs had to work over the weekend. We dressed up the little one as a dinosaur and masqueraded him at a friend's house. He didn't really put up with his costume all too long but just long enough to show off his cuteness.
On to the pretty stuff. I'm always wanting to try new things so here's my current lists of wants:

Z Palette: Currently I'm using MAC's palettes but after seeing Z Palettes online I really like the clear lids. One of my gripes with MAC palettes is that I have to search thru them all to figure out what I need. I hear they're made of cardboard but hopefully their construction is sturdy. You can purchase them for yourself here.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer: I think dark circles are starting to creep up on me a little bit (can I blame the baby???). I'm really intrigued by the design and treatment promises of this concealer. So far reviews are saying that although the sponge tip looks like something you'd be grossed out with, it actually works very well to apply concealer. It's antimicrobial so you can't get too grossed out with it. You can purchase this bad boy here.

CoverGirl Lash Perfection: I'm a HUGE fan of CoverGirl Lash Blast. This promises to individualize and volumize lashes. My one gripe with original Lash Blast is it seems to wear off a little bit towards the end of the day but it's so dang cheap I don't care. You can buy this stuff for yourself here.

Do you have any current beauty wants that I should want too or have you tried any of these beauty goodies? Let me know in the comments! I love STUFF!
